Primarily exploring political systems outside the Anglosphere, this book conducts a theoretical and comparative analysis of unwritten constitutional norms, focusing on their role in legislative and executive functions, as well as their recognition by the judiciary. It provides an in-depth exploration of selected contexts in which unwritten norms operate across a wide range of constitutional systems, illustrated with concrete examples of how unwritten constitutional norms are applied. The interaction between written and unwritten norms emerges throughout the book as a factor shaping not only institutional behaviour but also patterns of constitutional interpretation. Together, the chapters offer insight into the complexity of contemporary constitutions and the informal dynamics that underpin their practical operation. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of constitutional law, legal theory, legal philosophy, and comparative law.
